Will the Up Squared work for my application? PCI 9052 IO Bus

korber710

Hey All,

I have an application where I am connecting a proprietary card over PCI-104 to a PCI 9052 chip which converts our signals when this has a PCIe X16 connector which I use on my PC on my desktop. The PC I am currently using is x86_64 architecture running Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04 kernel 5.0.0-32 generic. I have no issues with this card on this PC. The motherboard on my desktop PC only has PCIe X1 so I am using a StarTech PEX1PCI1 adapter and I am providing external 5V and 12V power (this also allows me to cycle power with a relay). I believe for this application if I use something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Mini-Express-Extension-Adapter-Riser/dp/B01FVPITN8 I can bridge between the mPCIe and PCIe.

Note: I tried this with a RockPRO64 and I am having issues. The driver they have on their kernel is unable to detect this card. It is also causing a stack exception on bootup when the device is connected to the PCIe port which makes booting only work 2/10 times. I am currently working with the Dev to try and solve this but they have limited time and we have not been successful.

Was wondering what you guys think.

Thanks

The UP Squared has an Intel 64bit CPU, similar to your Desktop, so it should work without issues, but the only way to be 100% sure is to actually try that.
